Analysis of fossil wood and leaves of Tertiary age collected from Seymour Island, Antarctica in 2001
Fossils from Palaeogene strata on Seymour Island, Antarctic Peninsula, were studied to determine the nature of vegetation response to the fundamental change from greenhouse to icehouse climates in Antarctica. Palaeoclimate data was derived ...>>

Analysis of snow/ice cores collected from Rothschild, Latady and Smyley Islands, Antarctica, 2006
The project was concerned with understanding how air mass origin and meteorology affect the mass accumulation of snow in areas of the Antarctic Peninsula, and how the atmosphere's properties are preserved in the snow. Ground truth measurem...>>

BAS Geological Data - Overview
The British Antarctic Survey holds one of the most extensive collections of Antarctic rocks and fossils anywhere in the world. These are predominately from the Antarctic Peninsula region and Scotia Arc, although there is also important mat...>>

BAS Geological Data - Type and Figured Fossil Collection
The palaeontology collection at the British Antarctic Survey is a unique and internationally important collection of specimens sourced predominantly from the Antarctic Peninsula and Scotia Arc. The collection was started in the 1940s and co...>>

Geological station and sample field data plus processed geochemical data from rocks collected in eastern Ellsworth Land, Antarctica during the 2002/2003 field season
Examining the provenance of certain sedimentary rock sequences can potentially identify where sequences were originally deposited in relation to each other. Minerals found in sediments that are resistant to earth surface processes such as w...>>

Glacier flow vertical motion measurements, Antarctic Peninsula, 2005/07
Correction, Verification and Context, of Satellite-Derived Elevation Changes on the Antarctic Peninsula CVaCS-DECAP
The aim of the project was to measure the various factors that affect altitude of snow surfaces in Antarctica, in order ...>>

Raw geochemical analyses data (zircon analysis) from rocks collected in eastern Ellsworth Land, Antarctica during the 2002/2003 field season
A new technique that coupled SHRIMP U-Pb analyses with Laser ablation ICP isotope analyses for detrital zircons enabled the provenance of sediments from the English Coast region to be better assessed than had been previously possible. Such...>>

Rock samples collected in Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica, 2000-2001
Igneous dykes and sills were collected in Dronning Maud Land during the field season 2000-2001. The aim was to measure ages of volcanism during flood basalt events in Dronning Maud Land associated with the breakup of Gondwana.
The style ...>>

Rock samples, rock powders and mineral seperates collected from eastern Ellsworth Land, Antarctica during the 2002/2003 field season
Despite the important tectonic and stratigraphic setting, rocks from the English Coast area remain largely unstudied, as the paucity of exposure has hindered detailed structural and sedimentological analysis. Samples were collected for zir...>>

Samples of fossil wood and leaves of Tertiary age collected from Seymour Island, Antarctica in 2001
During field work in 2001 over 1600 specimens were collected from four main fossil plant assemblages: the 'Nordenksjold flora' from the Cross Valley Formation of Late Palaeocene age; and 3 floras from La Meseta Formation i) Flora2 from th...>>

Sediment cores collected from the Bellingshausen Sea, 2004
Sediments cores collected aboard the RRS James Clark Ross (JR104) in the Bellingshausen Sea, 2004.
This work was carried out as part of the first systematic investigation of the former ice drainage basin in the southern Bellingshausen Se...>>

Sediment trap and delta data from the Moutonnee Lake, Antarctica, 2001/2002
Sediment trap and delta samples were taken from the Moutonnee Lake in 2001/2002. Samples were analysed for grain size, Carbon and Nitrogen content and isotopic Carbon content. Delta samples were also analysed for luminescence dating.
...>>

Soil, rock and biological samples from the Moutonnee, Ablation and Citadel Lakes, Antarctica, 2001/2002
The general reference data consists of soil, rock and biological samples. These were analysed for grain size, CHN and carbon isotopes.

Timing and rates of ice sheet thinning in the Ellsworth Mountains, Weddell Sea embayment - ice sheet model runs, 2005-2008
The GLIMMER ice sheet model will be used to simulate former ice sheet configurations in the Weddell Sea embayment, constrained against our new field data.
...>>

Timing and rates of ice sheet thinning in the Ellsworth Mountains, Weddell Sea embayment - powders, solutions and residues, 2006-2008
For each of the rock samples analysed in the lab, a (variable) number of laboratory stages are created, including sawing and crushing residues, pure quartz separates, chemical solutions, and AMS targets.
...>>

Vibro and gravity sediment cores plus associated data collected from the Weddell Sea and Marguerite Bay during February and March 2002
Ice-rafted (Heinrich) layers in the North Atlantic provide clear evidence that basins of large Quaternary ice sheets have, in the past, exhibited major dynamic instabilities. The presence of large ice sheets on the modern Antarctic continen...>>
